Copie Conforme

Dir : Abbas Kiarostami

2010 / 106 mins

James Miller has just written a book on the value of a copy versus the original work of art. At a book reading, a woman gives him her address, and the next day they meet and take a country-side drive to a local Italian village. Here, they discuss various works of art found in the town, and also the nature of their relationship - which gets both more revealed and concealed as the day progresses. Are they former lovers or just trying to copy an ideal romance?
